Front strut brace

[Sgt_Lemon]

For a car that has been lowered then is an additional strut brace a good idea? I quite like the idea of having one mounted on the rear struts just hidden under the parcel shelf. Also the lower subframe one just sounds like an anti roll bar.

Front upper works well, front lower not so well, rear works well also especially if you find one that triangulates like the neuspeed one

front lower mounts between two front wishbone bolts, so if your bushes are knackered/soft itll keep it feeling tighter. And make sure you get a steel lower one if buying one.

Uprated rollbars are a different kettle of fish and you feel them far more than any brace.

All the compenents all add up to a very responsive handling car

springs
shocks
rollbars
braces
bushes

It's not like a roll bar as it's not stopping roll, it's stopping flex.

I personally think the cost of buying one and bolting it to your car is far too much to justify fitting one in the bay!

A rear one would be the best place to fit a brace.

Solid (not just poly) bushes are the best mod with a good set of roll bars

Polybushes on the front of a Golf2 are not a good idea, as has been proven by various people with track cars.

TT bushes on the back of the control arms, plus stitch-welding the control arms are what makes the difference.
